The future of computers and television is see-through. And bendy. Innovations in nanotechnology mean that the screens of the future might just be pretty weird. The most obvious advancement scientists have in mind is to create a readout that displays directly onto the windshield of a car, giving you access to maps and other useful information.
But there are other ideas, too, like reusable newspaper you can roll up and swat people with. Even your laptop might be a candidate for some bending and folding. You might be able to program your wallpaper to different high-resolution displays, or read all the books you want from just one sheet of paper. The full-wall-TVs of Fahrenheit 451 are almost inevitable at this point.
Still, I see a bright future for modern art.

Firefly did this.
But Shadowrun did this first.
I absolutely adore the thought of a laptop I can roll up and fit in my back pocket.
